II. SCOPE OF SERVICES
A. Background
The City of Bozeman regularly uses aerial photography and planimetric information to support regulatory,
land management, planning, and engineering projects. This project will update all aerial imagery for the
entire 78.7 square mile planning boundary in addition to building footprints (image included in
Attachment A of this RFP shows the area of interest). This documents defines the technical, cost, and
time scope for developing a portion of the City’s GIS database.
The desired flight dates are between April 1st and April 30th 2021. The desired project completion date is
90 days from photo acquisition.
B. Project Scope
The preliminary scope of work involved for this project is outlined below. Additional tasks and work
elements may be added during contract negotiations. It is also possible that tasks or elements could be
deleted through negotiation. In its proposal, the Consultant may recommend addition/deletion of tasks
or modification of tasks in describing its particular understanding and approach for the project.
Proposals must clearly identify any elements of the proposed scope of work that would not be provided
by the prime Consultant. Any sub-Consultants which comprise the overall Consultant team must be
identified along with a description of past working history between the firms.
The City desires to complete the proposed work in a diligent manner. Proposals must clearly indicate the
Consultant’s anticipated schedule given their staffing and current and projected work load commitments.
The proposal shall include a proposed schedule of events necessary to complete the work. The schedule
shall include a process and schedule for the submittal of draft products for City review prior to final
submittals.
Prior to receiving notice to proceed after negotiations, before any data collection the Consultant must
submit a project plan. The project plan will include the following:
1) A map showing the study area boundaries and flight path at a reasonable scale (approx.
1:150,000)
2) Documentation specifying altitude, air speed, scan angle, scan rate, and other flight and
equipment information deemed appropriate.
3) A chart of areas of high Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP), or a list showing the time of the
beginning and end of high PDOP.
4) The proposed ground control plan containing Airborne GPS support. If necessary, the Consultant
shall obtain all rights of entry, be responsible for all GPS control information and show all National
Spatial Reference System (NSRS) monuments that will be used for the GPS base stations for
airborne GPS control.
Failure to comply with any of these provisions may result in the rejection of the proposal.
Digital Imagery Specifications:
Orthoimagery shall be acquired only on clear days, leaf-off conditions, with no snow and minimal puddling
of rain water or other weather-related effects obscuring the ground surface. At a minimum, National Map
Accuracy Standards for the production of the Orthoimagery must be adhered to. The camera and
magazines shall meet or exceed the most recent USGS specifications for aerial camera systems.
Aerotriangulation/bundle adjustment shall be performed by the current state-of-the-art analysis software
to maximize accuracy of the data.
o Photographic Conditions
• Tree Cover. Photography shall be undertaken while the leaves are off the deciduous trees.
• Clouds. Clouds or cloud shadows must not appear on the imagery. High, thin overcast is
permitted above the flying altitude if it does not cause ground mottling or a discernable reduction
in light levels and/or ground object shadows.
• Well-Defined Images. Collect imagery to obtain well-defined images. Do not attempt imagery
acquisition where the ground is obscured by haze, smoke, smog, dust, or falling snow, sleet, rain,
or other obscuring phenomena. Do not collect imagery when ground is covered by water (flood),
snow, or ice.
• Visibility. The minimum visibility at the time of exposure must be 10 miles or greater.
• Sun Angle. The majority of the project area will be collected when the sun angle is not less than
40°. In areas with tall trees or areas with significant urban development with buildings 3 stories
or taller (such as downtown Bozeman), increase the minimum sun-to-horizon angle to acquire the
photography during the times of minimal shadow.
• Tilt will not exceed four degrees for any photographic frame and will average not more than two
degrees for any ten consecutive frames. Relative tilt exceeding six degrees between any two
successive frames may be cause for rejecting that portion of the flight lines.
• Crab angle as measured from the average line of flight will not exceed five degrees. The course-
heading differential between any two successive exposures will not exceed five degrees.
• Forward overlap will be at least 55 percent between consecutive exposures. The average sidelap
will be at least 20 percent.
o Image Quality/Radiometry
• There shall be no areas of an orthophoto where the process was incomplete due to image gaps or
lack of data.
• All digital orthophotos shall be radiometrically adjusted as necessary so that adjacent digital
orthophotos can be displayed simultaneously without an obvious visual edge seam between
them. Localized adjustment of the brightness values shall be performed to minimize tonal
differences between the join areas. For this adjustment, the orthophoto judged by visual
inspection to have the better contrast shall be used as the reference orthophoto. Localized
brightness values of the adjacent orthophoto shall be adjusted to that of the reference
orthophoto. When possible and feasible, the area adjusted should be bounded by a tonal break
ground feature such as a road, field line, shadow line, etc. The radiometric adjustment should not
compromise the accuracy, clarity, or resolution of the orthophoto.
• Prior to undertaking full digital orthophoto production, the Consultant shall furnish the City with
sample digital images to evaluate and accept as examples of overall image quality. The City will
select one image, which will become the standard to which all subsequent digital orthophotos will
be compared for acceptance/rejection relative to image quality.
Control:
All horizontal and vertical control necessary to provide the deliverables requested in the proposal; digital
orthoimagery, and planimetrics meeting the standards specified herein shall be completed by the
Consultant.
Ground control must be adequate to support the accuracy specifications identified herein. Some existing
vertical and horizontal control may be available for this area. The Consultant shall review all horizontal
and vertical control for accuracy and completeness.
If the existing control is not deemed sufficient, then the Consultant shall describe any additional control
work necessary to provide a DTM meeting the specified standards. The Consultant shall provide in the
proposal, a draft control plan. The City will not perform any surveying for this project.
Any survey work performed by the Consultant shall be done in conformance with Montana survey laws,
regulations and administrative rules.
For survey control work performed by the Consultant (or sub-Consultants) the following requirements will
pertain:
A brief survey control report in PDF and/or other digital format shall be delivered that contains:
• One digital copy of the control diagram (the survey network scheme).
• One copy of all field notes, horizontal and vertical computations, and control network
adjustments, with the connections to the National Spatial Reference System shall be clearly
shown.
• A digital copy of the new control points established to control the photogrammetry with all
observations and ties, a point description, digital photograph of the monument and the control
point location context, and coordinate values in geographic coordinates and in both UTM Zone
12 NAD83 (2011) meters, NAVD88 meters and Montana State Plane NAD83 (2011) meters,
NAVD88 meters.
• Survey party personnel, equipment, software, and procedures used.
